Just a few weeks before they fly the Greek flag on the stage of the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest, Koza Mostra have released their first complete album, Keep Up The Rhythm.

The first year since Koza Mostra were created has been hectic for the seven members of the band. With 130 live gigs in Greece and abroad and many more to come till May, the band had little time to work on the album. They entered the studio in the summer and finished in time for the official presentation yesterday in Thessaloniki.

K.U.T.R. or Keep up the rhythm contains songs in English and Greek and two versions of Alcohol is free, Greece’s 2013 Eurovision entry, the original as well as well as the radio version. The tracklist includes older songs released in 2012 as well as new songs in a mix of ska, punk and traditional Greek and Balkan sounds.

Thanks to Johnny Logan and Hold me now I fell in love with the Eurovision Song Contest, a love that's been going strong ever since with undiminished passion. My first memories date back to 1977 and the lyrics of Rock bottom, Dschinghis Khan and A ba ni bi are still engraved in my brain. I joined esctoday.com in 2006 as a junior editor after being invited by Barry Viniker, I soon became Senior Editor and during the 2007 contest in Helsinki I was appointed Head of Communications. Today I hold the post of Head of Human Resources and I am proud to be working with the best editorial team in the world.
